Zhu Jingxi, a native of Dongtai, Jiangsu, a member of the Communist Party of China, was born in June 1985, graduated from the computer department of Yancheng Normal University in 2003, majoring in software engineering, joined Zhongtong in the same year, and later graduated from Renmin University of China with an EMBA. He is currently the vice president of Zhongtong Express Group. Chief Technology Officer (CTO). He successively won the 2014 China Excellent CIO and the May 4th Medal winner of Qingpu District, Shanghai. During his tenure, he led the development and growth of the IT team of ZTO, led the establishment of ZTO Express informatization development, independently developed "Zhongtian" core business systems and related peripheral systems, and used information technology to lead the innovation of the express delivery industry. In 2017, Zhongtong Express won four awards for information security in the express logistics industry. At the 2019 Digital Intelligence Future Summit and the 2nd CTDC Annual Technology Leader Awards Ceremony, Zhu Jingxi won the Annual Technology Leader Award. How hard is the technology of
, the stage will be as big as
In 2003, the second year of the establishment of Zhongtong, Zhu Jingxi joined Zhongtong and was responsible for the construction of IT information system hardware network and software promotion and training. From 2003 to 2018, the IT team of Zhu Jingxi’s company developed from an IT department with two people to an information center with more than two hundred people; the technical scope ranges from submitting business requirements to outsourcing software companies, purchasing IT equipment, and conducting information system and Software promotion and use training has been developed to have self-developed "Zhongtian" core business system and related peripheral systems. The current Zhongtong Information Center must process tens of millions of parcels and PB-level data every day. It supports all the processing links of the entire life cycle of express mail, such as receiving, transporting, sorting and dispatching, signing, billing, settlement, etc. Etc., real-time tracking of express shipments, information sharing in each link and express delivery processing are realized. What makes Zhu Jingxi feel excited is that the team's years of hard work have finally turned "unreachable dreams into reality one by one."
delves into small dreams and accomplishes big business
During college, Zhu Jingxi was a reticent young man. Like all ordinary college students, he was most concerned about reading, eating, and attending classes, probably his major. It is said that interest is the best teacher. With the guidance of interest, Zhu Jingxi often delves into the profession alone and thinks hard about technology. He especially likes to study the freshest technology. As long as there is something new, he will definitely devote himself to it, study it to the end, and understand the first trend of information technology. In terms of program development, Zhu Jingxi has slowly grown into a "little practical expert." In 1999, when the Siyuan Post Club of Yancheng Teachers College was established, Zhu Jingxi joined the club and was a member of the "veteran level" of the club. "This is very important to me," Zhu Jingxi said, "We have become the first group of people who have priority access to the Internet, which is very good." In 2002, Zhu Jingxi became the deputy site director of the Siyuan Post Club and began to learn to lead the technical team to conduct the website. Cooperative projects such as production and technology development have cultivated their own leadership and sense of responsibility, and laid a good technical foundation and ability foundation for the subsequent career path.
From behind the scenes to the front stage, from support to key. When Zhu Jingxi first joined Zhongtong, Zhongtong was still a small soldier in the express industry, and his IT department had only one or two people. During peak business seasons, Zhu Jingxi often has to go to the grassroots level, eat and live with couriers, and sometimes help deliver couriers. After more than ten years of development, ZTO has gradually become a leader in China's express delivery industry. As the latest company in the "Three Links and One Access", Zhongtong is the fastest growing company. Its market share increased from 7.6% in 2011 to 14.3% in 2015, almost doubling in five years. To complete these huge business volumes and profits, Zhongtong relies on its own huge and complete network support system. According to ZTO’s prospectus, as of June 30, 2017, ZTO has more than 300,000 employees, more than 28,000 service outlets, 79 transfer centers, more than 9,300 network partners, and more than 4,380 trunk transportation vehicles. There are more than 1780 trunk lines, the network reaches more than 97.69% of the districts and counties, and the coverage of towns and villages exceeds 81.5%. With the growth of Zhongtong, the team led by Zhu Jingxi has grown from an IT department with only one or two people to an IT information center with more than 200 people, and continues to expand at a rate of more than 50% every year. At present, the center's R&D personnel account for more than 75%, with an average age of only 26 years old, and it already has a self-developed "Zhongtian" core business system and related peripheral systems.
Some people say that the express industry is the barrier to entryAn industry that is not high but has a high barrier to success. What makes a courier company separate from its peers and stand out from the crowd? In Zhu Jingxi's view, in this era, only the superiority of technology can achieve this.
Zhu Jingxi believes that in the logistics industry that emphasizes economies of scale, technology is the basic guarantee for the development of daily business operations, as well as a weapon to reduce logistics costs and accident probability, and improve express delivery time. Technology also means more possibilities: promoting the logistics industry and Linking peripheral industries, creating new consumption and manufacturing scenarios, building an organic ecosystem, and exploring opportunities in emerging industries.
Following this development trend, ZTO is trying to make some ecological transformation and business expansion, such as getting involved in e-commerce, cross-border logistics, and entering the field of technology. According to Zhu Jingxi, the technical development direction of Zhongtong will be more closely linked with users in the future.
"In the past, everyone thought that Zhongtong was a traditional logistics company. In the future, Zhongtong may become a data- or technology-driven technology company. Users are becoming more Internet-oriented, and their requirements for technology will also be higher and higher. Afterwards, ZTO will carry out in-depth development in big data, mobile and other aspects." The transformation of
means that ZTO’s IT information center is moving from behind the scenes to the foreground, from a supporting role to a key role.
Although the IT information center is currently developing well and the technical strength of Zhongtong has reached the upper-middle level of the industry, Zhu Jingxi still feels a little regretful in his heart: the IT technology department embarked on the route of independent research and development three years ago, and now Look at this time a bit late.
"If we can embark on the route of independent research and development two years earlier, there will be more things we can do now, including the emerging Internet gameplay, such as e-commerce, cloud warehouse, etc., with better technical reserves and conditions, and more Deeply involved." Zhu Jingxi said. Z2z
technology is the trump card, everything depends on oneself
Zhu Jingxi is very optimistic about the development of the express delivery industry. According to his estimation, the industry's high growth rate will continue for at least five to six years, which means that the industry will also release a large number of job opportunities. The young technology development team of Zhongtong means a broader development space for technical talents.
"As long as you have the technology, it will be easy to find your own use. When these technologies are promoted to the actual business, it will be easy to produce the sense of accomplishment of scientific and technological applications, which may be much higher than others. Enterprises. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of practitioners related to Zhongtong and its network partners. Even through some micro-innovations, we can help practitioners reduce labor intensity and liberate productivity. And Zhongtong's huge transaction volume and data volume , It also provides a lot of room for technical personnel." When asked if there are any good suggestions for the students at school, Zhu Jingxi said: "In this era of fierce competition, young people must have One of his own skills, technology is the trump card, is the last word." He added, "Young people must learn to endure hardships, lean down to practice, rely on themselves for everything, step by step, down to earth. Now the social development is changing from labor-intensive to technology-intensive. The key stage of the transformation, the trend of express logistics is mechanization, intelligentization, and unmanned, and the requirements for technology are getting higher and higher. Express logistics is related to people's livelihood, serving the society, and achieving everyone. Students can consider joining this industry. Come in."
